From the bottle, pours a clear amber color with a root beer like head. The smell is toasted malt, dull sweetness. The taste is earthy, herbal, toasted malt ending a bit dry. Light+ in body with average carbonation.

Bottle from a trade ( I guess, not sure anymore). The beer has got a hazy golden-strawy colour with an airy head and medium body. Aroma of hops and hay. Taste of green hops, malt, straw, mild fruits, dust and oranges. Easy drinkable and refreshing, just nothing more than a standard lager.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for this bottle. The beer is smooth and fresh. Nice bittered, malt, caramel, grain. The aftertaste is malty with a nice but not too deep bitterness. Hints of grain, smooth without being too sweet,. Nice.

Draft at the brewery in May 2013: Burnished gold. Broken white head. Aroma is comprised of earthy toast and breadcrust along with hints of cheesy yeast, grassy hops, DMS and an elegant dab of fruitiness. Fuzzy carbonation deposits a foamy residue on the tongue. Opens with a pleasantly contrasting mix of minerals and fruity apricot roundness. Refined malt supplies a springy new-mown hay and uncured hay which dovetails nicely with the caramelized sugar and toasty grip. Grainy malt slowly creeps in and lends a light astringency, though it remains predominantly firm and focused in its toastiness. Malt character is somewhat stark and and hollow, however, exhibiting ample flavor yet failing to aid the body with much texture. Finishes with some licorice-root hop bitterness amid a fresh-picked hop character. A pretty simply version, and the seemingly high filtration doesn’t help. Uninspiring.
